Description nicodache 2008-04-24 22:15:44 UTC
The latest stable version of Racer is the 0.5.0 one (0.5.0-r2 for gentoo ~x86)
However, there are some beta version available - like the 0.5.4 beta 1 - for Linux (this one is told to work with Ubuntu 7.10)

Couldn't we/you/them put the 0.5.4-b1 in the portage tree, only available in ~arch, and/or masked ?

So that maybe someone will like this game and decide to go on with the dev ?

You don't have to CC yourself when already a bug reporter.

About racer, I have ebuild for some 0.5.2 (or 0.5.3?) beta somewhere, but that was only a quick hack from ebuild in portage.

I have no x86 to try, but there's source for 0.5.0 (see http://www.racer.nl/download/v050/rr050src.tgz). Might even check bug #194151 against it.

There are newer binary releases, last one is 0.5.4b1.

Games herd, can we have an update?

version 0.8.5 is out. Why the ebuild is so old?


 
Comment 5 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-09-19 23:11:07 UTC
Because you haven't submitted a working ebuild for a newer version.

You are right, no linux version for 0.8.5, but 0.5.4 (raccomanded instead of 0.5.0) is downloadable as Matti said:
